You generally can translate any LDAPv3 schema to that used
by OpenLDAP 1.x, an LDAPv2+ implementation.  You have to use
syntax 'bin' where OpenLDAP does know or understand the
syntaxes/matching rules.  This will allow you to store anything
in the directory... however, in such cases, it will be treated
as a blob and hence you cannot do attribute value assertions
upon the stored values.

Note, if the attributes are normally transferred using LDAPv3
";binary", the define the attribute (foo) as
"attribute foo;binary bin".  This technic works well for
transferring all BER encoded attribute values.
